Two years after the City of Fort Worth selected Hoque Global to develop several vacant lots at Evans Avenue and East Rosedale Street, neighbors now have a visual on what that project might look like.

Hoque Global and designer Merriman Anderson Architects have released renderings of their proposed Evans & Rosedale development, expected to break ground in 2022. Final design plans have yet to be approved by the city and area stakeholders; but according to Hoque Global, locals can expect to see multifamily residential units; townhomes; green space; a playground; a "neighborhood-centric, food-and-beverage concept"; and a grocery store. Additionally, Hoque Global is looking to build a "roastery-by-day, brewery-by-night concept" currently dubbed "Neighborhood Brew.

The project stretches 7.5 acres over separate east and west blocks, envisioned to include 27,000 square feet of commercial space at ground level and approximately 320 residential units above. Building design takes inspiration from existing structures in the area, such as Evans Plaza. Townhomes will line the eastern portion of the site, adjacent to the residential community; and larger structures will stand further west, with the apartment reaching four or five stories near South Freeway.

The project also includes green space and a playground.

Developers promise diverse housing by way of apartments and townhomes, "built around affordability and inclusivity" with a number of units available at below-market rates, according to Hoque Global. Spaces dubbed "live/work units" will also allow tenants to both reside and do business in one place.
